GTRs are good and all but too old to buy now IMO, even when I spoke to Vu about his 34 he said he had to replace some major parts that were rusted the same as my R33 :\

Id go for a mid 2000s evo instead if possible (7-8-9) but don't really like the interior that much

what it sounds like? lol i've read it three times and sounds the same.. maybe my mind is f**ked today

Lol your brain is fried.

I read it as:

The difference between driving his GTS-R and an R34 GTR weight difference was similar to the differences between an EVO and R33 GTR being about 250kg's

Oh brains fried.

inb4 Richo buys one for Time Attack

lol, don't event tempt me more than I am. Such an easy car to go fast in, extracting that little extra is super hard though.

8mr ftw

errrr, yep there goes the value for money. 8MR is like buying a NUR, well not a far as NUR but similar. It's the pimp spec, but for the same money you can make a much better VIII or IX.

VII is what...17K buy price (22K asking) and a VIII MR is 30K buy price. I'd buy a IX over an VIII MR any day, they are pretty much the same price and the IX is far superior engine wise.

One of the OTR VIII is up for sale atm, bargain for what it is.

Also Dan's East Beat GTT is for sale again in the ACT.

Yeh I'm considering 6 or 7.. Hopefully this guy buys my car

7>6 any day... 6 are too outdated

Fair point. Apparently the VII have weaker rods though, although I prefer the VII To the other girly ones. Not gonna do much if I get one though so come at me weak rods

I've heard of guys running upt o 260kw or more in 7s as long as you don't have a huge torque curve it'll last

It's actually the quick torque from responsive power setups that generally kill the rods

however to rebuild forged 2.4litre engine is cheaper than rebuilding a forged 2litre

5 was the best looking Evo. Or should I say, the least ugly.

I'm a HUGE 5 fan, but they are way to outdated now

plus to mod them they cost more than the newer models

Add 18" wheels/tyres, exhausts, bigger brakes (a common GTR upgrade where EVO doesn't) and so on and it can certainly get higher :)

I suspect a R33 is heavier than 1550 to start off with. My GTS-R was 1400kg without me in it as i weighed it, and the GTR feels a LOT heavier than 150kg more. I remember driving Snowys R34 years back and it felt like at least 250-300kgs packed into it as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

Plus half the time the figures are not 100% accurate from a manufacturer as they dont say if its kerb weight (full fluids) or not.

EVO's are on par easily with GTR's, well the ct9a anyway

Few of the evolutionoz.net guys have weighed them and they come up to about 1450kg with half tank of full (about 29litres LOL)

A 6 and a 33R similar weight? No chance .. ive driven both and the 6 feels much lighter, even though the 33 R ha more power.

Maybe a 7 might be nearing the weight of a 33r but I doubt it

different cars, the gtr being longer is less 'nimble' so the evo with feel lighter anyway

they heavy cars, the only really light ones are the RS's

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
